Isra Hirsi, Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter, is suspended from Barnard

The daughter of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar said on Thursday she was suspended from Barnard College after"standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide."

Hirsi said on X that she is a member of the student organization Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and an organizer with Apartheid Divest, and said she had not received any disciplinary warnings for the three years she has attended the university. The students demanded that the university divest from corporate financial interests with ties to Israel. The protests came just a day after Columbia University's President Nemat Shafik stood firm in her testimony on Capitol Hill regarding the university's response to antisemitism and what phrases used by activists would be considered harassment.Hirsi wrote on Thursday,"those of us in Gaza Solidarity Encampment will not be intimidated.

Columbia University said in a notice that"all university students participating in the encampment" were notified that they would be suspended, and said the participants were trespassing after the university's president ordered that they be removed.
